    I have a feeling I've solved the problems I've been reporting.
    My guess is that I was bumping into per-process limits that are not-so-well
    advertised in OSF/1.  For a good summary of how to change them,
    check out:

    The default per-proc-data-size = 134217728
    And we were crashing every time the memory usage went about 134 Mb.
    Could that be it?
    I've boosted several system limits, and crossed my fingers.

    p.s. Advice on any dos and don'ts for tuning system limits appreciated.
